Sea water in its natural state (even in the most pristine places) contains one million bacteria in every cubic centimeter. One billion bacteria in every liter.
"In each milliliter of sea water live about a thousand protists, about a million bacteria (...) and as we will see later, it is possible that these counts are very conservative. These planktonic microorganisms are not only responsible for the degradation of marine litter, but they also carry out most of the photosynthesis and respiration in the sea and thus maintain the CO2 balance between the sea and the atmosphere." (Source: www.asesmar.org, only in archive.org and not the document, only their website).
Not only are they not harmful to humans and animals, but we also live thanks to them, as they are the largest source of oxygen on the planet (not tropical forests, but the oceans are the largest producers of oxygen, and in the oceans these microorganisms are the ones that produce it).
And, on top of that, they degrade the garbage we throw into them! (This is not an excuse to continue throwing it, but it is not too important either: see articles on the missing plastic in the oceans and its self-purifying power).
They are not harmful to humans because experience shows it:
Many people (and animals) have injected themselves with unfiltered sea water and have had no unpleasant results.
When we bathe in the sea we always swallow water. One cubic centimeter? Well, we have swallowed a million bacteria. How many people get sick at the end of the summer from swallowing sea water? None. If there were harmful bacteria in the sea, and given its quantity per cubic centimeter, we should have epidemics every summer, because the millions of people who bathe, some tiny amount of water at least wets their lips, their eyes (with many bacteria).
In Spain there is a convent of nuns (Poor Clares) who have declared that there is no pope since Pius XII. As a result, their "bishop" has stolen their bank accounts and is trying to expel them from their monasteries. He says they had less than 6,000 euros. (Even more shameful act, for stealing good poor nuns of what little money they had. They are poor: they had to mortgage one of their monasteries). They ask for support (money, materials or diffusion of their situation). Their website is tehagoluz.com and their Instagram account. |
As you can see, on 6/14/2024 I've added many articles. |
In Spain you can buy sea water at cheap price at any diet store and some supermarkets. Examples: this diet store, this pharmacy (at higher price), this supermarket. There is also an organic bakery making bread with sea water and sells it too. There are 5 companies bottling and selling sea water because there is a lot of people drinking sea water on a daily basis. If you at your country become a critical mass of people interested in sea water, companies offering it will arise. So, it's in your hands, sharing this information meeting your friends, by phone or social networks, to make the conditions where these companies will appear and make sea water even more available to all the people. |
Work in progress. |
